I am looking to lower my rsx. I am currently looking at ground controls or eibach sportlines springs. I am going to get koni shocks. Which of these 2 setups will handle better and also look good. Also will a rear type r sway bar (22mm) make that much of a difference?

 

if you're two choices were either GC or eibachs with konis, i would go with GC. i believe the spring rate on the GC is pretty high but not too high and gives you a good ride with nice handling work. the sway bar will help a ton...it will kill the swaying feel you have when you are corning and will kill some of your understeer. i think it's a good idea to get the sway bar after you lower your car because you will gain a lot of understeer after the car is lowered. have you thought about coil overs? cost a lot but you get what you pay for. good luck.

 

I would go for eibachs with konis. This is just my opinion. Haven't experience with GC, so can't say it is good or not

 

If I go with ground control should I get the konis any way or would it be fine on the stock shocks

 

I would recommend a set of good coilover if you have some extra money to throw around. It is always better to get the best stuff at the beginning than upgrade it later. But if those are the only choices, I think I will go with Eibach sportline + Koni.
Just my $0.02.

 

Is this your first time...or have you had a car with ground control and Koni. If your into quality and function... then you will hate that setup... also if your a smooth ride freak... Save an extra 4 bills and join the Tien, Zeal, Cusco, JIC, and Zero one coilover experience.

 

i currently have Koni Yellows and Eibach Pro-Kit, and looking forward to swap out my pro-kit and installing GC Coilovers this summer. i also upgrade my crappy a** 12mm rear sway bar to 19mm type-s Sway, you will feel the difference. my friend who just got the 22mm type-r sway bar on his car, well, all i can say is, he has thrown the balance off. the rear is too tight for the front. although the front has 27mm, but still too much at the rear, he needs to consdier upgrade the front as well, and maybe even wider tires.
